TLDR
A critical review of the NLP community's response to the landscape of bad language is offered, and a quantitative analysis of the lexical diversity of social media text, and its relationship to other corpora is presented.Abstract:
The rise of social media has brought computational linguistics in ever-closer contact with bad language: text that defies our expectations about vocabulary, spelling, and syntax. This paper surveys the landscape of bad language, and offers a critical review of the NLP community’s response, which has largely followed two paths: normalization and domain adaptation. Each approach is evaluated in the context of theoretical and empirical work on computer-mediated communication. In addition, the paper presents a quantitative analysis of the lexical diversity of social media text, and its relationship to other corpora.read more

Urban Emotions and Cycling Experience – Enriching Traffic Planning for Cyclists with Human Sensor Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach for bio-physiological sensing to identify places in urban environments which are perceived as unsafe by cyclists, where a number of physiological parameters like ECG, skin conductance, skin temperature and heart rate variability are analysed to identify moments of stress.

A Participant-based Approach for Event Summarization Using Twitter Streams
TL;DR: A participant-based event summarization approach that “zooms-in” the Twitter event streams to the participant level, detects the important sub-events associated with each participant using a novel mixture model that combines the “burstiness” and “cohesiveness” properties of the event tweets, and generates the event summaries progressively.

Kernel density estimation for text-based geolocation
TL;DR: An enhancement of common methods for determining the geographic point of origin of a text document by kernel density estimation is investigated and improvements upon non-kernel methods on datasets of U.S. and global Twitter content are obtained.

A combination of active learning and self-learning for named entity recognition on Twitter using conditional random fields
TL;DR: This paper proposes a method that combines AL and self-learning to reduce the labeling effort for the named entity recognition task from tweet streams by using both machine-labeled and manually- labeled data.

Audience-modulated variation in online social media
TL;DR: This paper found that the frequency of non-standard lexical variables is inversely related to the size of the intended audience, and that these variables are more often used in messages that are addressed to individuals who are known to be geographically local.

Earthquake shakes Twitter users: real-time event detection by social sensors
TL;DR: This paper investigates the real-time interaction of events such as earthquakes in Twitter and proposes an algorithm to monitor tweets and to detect a target event and produces a probabilistic spatiotemporal model for the target event that can find the center and the trajectory of the event location.

Critical questions for big data
danah boyd,Kate Crawford +1 more
TL;DR: The era of Big Data has begun as discussed by the authors, where diverse groups argue about the potential benefits and costs of analyzing genetic sequences, social media interactions, health records, phone logs, government records, and other digital traces left by people.

Feature-rich part-of-speech tagging with a cyclic dependency network
TL;DR: A new part-of-speech tagger is presented that demonstrates the following ideas: explicit use of both preceding and following tag contexts via a dependency network representation, broad use of lexical features, and effective use of priors in conditional loglinear models.

Incorporating Non-local Information into Information Extraction Systems by Gibbs Sampling
TL;DR: By using simulated annealing in place of Viterbi decoding in sequence models such as HMMs, CMMs, and CRFs, it is possible to incorporate non-local structure while preserving tractable inference.
